Steelers Rout Packers 28-9 as Drew Allar Throws for 153 Yards and 3 TDs

Drew Allar drove Pittsburgh’s second-half surge, throwing for 153 yards and accounting for three total touchdowns in the Steelers’ 28-9 preseason opening win over Green Bay.
That performance made Allar the clearest stock riser, while receiver Germie Bernard also stood out by leading the team in catches and receiving yards and tight end Robert Tonyan strengthened his case for the No. 3 role.
The biggest concerns came at tackle, where Troy Fautanu struggled in his first start on the left side and Dylan Cook looked even shakier, raising pressure on Broderick Jones or Max Iheanachor to be ready for the regular season.
Seven special-teams penalties added another red flag in Mike McCarthy’s first game, with coordinator Danny Crossman facing an urgent cleanup job despite the lopsided win.
